Term paper deadlines arent that important anyway. If your professors like you, extensions are always a possibility

Okay, go buy the Morrowind edition with the two expansion packs and play that. Mind you it doesn't have 'fast' travel except for silt strider, boat, Mages Guild, Almsivi/Divine Intervention spells, A one-location Mar/Recall spell, or proplyn index. I don't see how Oblivion is a bigger time-suck than Morrowind.

As soon as I buy a new external drive and start running my iTunes off it, I'm going to reinstall this and start playing again. I had beaten the main quest and Knights of the Nine and was like 3/4 finished with the Shivering Isles MQ when storage became a premium .

I doing this. I had to use the console to get the Orc back to buy the house in Skingrad. (He is marked for random NPC death by falling off the bridge), but I accidentally summoned him twice, so there's two of him running around now.
